Introducing our new 2027 and 2028 cruises

Two World Voyages are among the highlights of our new itineraries, as Queen Anne sails west and Queen Elizabeth heads east in January 2028. Returning to Japan and Australia, Queen Elizabeth’s 113-night cruise introduces poignant shrines and undersea worlds.

Queen Mary 2 will invite you to island-hop in the Caribbean or sail iconic seafaring routes, including her legendary Transatlantic Crossing. Another bucket-list moment awaits in Europe, where a voyage to Norway could see you glimpse the Northern Lights.

From Southampton, Queen Victoria will set sail to Europe and the Mediterranean, including a January voyage calling in the Canary Islands and Morocco. Complemented by elegant evenings on board, this could yet be the perfect start to your year.

Witness the engineering marvel that is the Panama Canal. Enjoy overnight calls in the likes of Bridgetown, Los Angeles, Sydney, and Cape Town. Explore further than ever, with a world of style and comfort to return to on board. This is ocean travel at its finest. Browse to find your future Cunard voyage today.

Queen Mary 2 cruises

Our flagship, Queen Mary 2, will sail out on adventures on both sides of the Atlantic in 2028. During cruises in the Caribbean, including roundtrips from Southampton or New York, you could be sipping your morning coffee on your balcony, as you watch the gentle rise of the morning sun.

Experience a Cunard favourite – an iconic Transatlantic Crossing – and spend days at sea pondering which of New York’s highlights make your ‘must-see’ list. Perhaps you’ll be lucky enough to spot the Northern Lights in Norway, when you’re not retracing the steps of Vikings through the moody, mythical landscape. You could even experience some ports after dusk, with late evening departures and overnight calls in cities like Bridgetown and Malaga.

Other Queen Mary 2 highlights include this 5-night short break to Zeebrugge, Rotterdam, and Hamburg for a springtime getaway, and this combined Caribbean-Transatlantic Crossing, offering sunny days on shore and time to while away at sea.

Queen Elizabeth cruises

Feel at home on the decks of Queen Elizabeth as she sails in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. You could find yourself on a street food adventure, savouring Sicilian arancini and Bajan fish cakes. Sailing eastwards, her 113-night World Voyage includes overnight calls in ports like Cape Town, Hong Kong, and Sydney, bringing you the chance to see more of these extraordinary cities.

Discover natural beauty across Australia and Japan, as Queen Elizabeth makes a return visit to this region. Notice the mix of cultural influences in Singapore. Explore jungle fauna in Tonga and Hawaii. Experience the engineering marvel that is the Panama Canal. This collection of cruises opens up a world of new adventures.

Not to be missed, Queen Elizabeth's Full World Voyage out of Southampton marks her first such circumnavigation in ten years. If you're seeking the sunshine on the other hand, this Eastern Caribbean cruise out of Miami promises two weeks of pure island bliss.

Queen Victoria cruises

Sail out of Southampton to enchanting destinations across Europe on board Queen Victoria in 2028. You could start the year on a month-long adventure taking in the Canary Islands, Morocco, and beyond. Dreaming of a little peace and tranquillity? Find yourself lost in fjordland views in Norway, day after day. Paired with an ocean-inspired massage in our spa, it’s hard to imagine a more soothing scene.

Meanwhile, voyages in western Europe bring a chance to visit some truly iconic attractions. Explore revered pilgrimage site, Santiago de Compostela, on a tour from Vigo, and the architectural wonder that is the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao on tours from Getxo.

This Norway and Northern Lights voyage, sure to feature on many wish lists, invites the opportunity to see the aurora borealis in stunning surroundings. Or, if island-hopping is more to your liking, this Azores, Canary Islands and Portugal cruise offers you the chance to step ashore in multiple scenic destinations across two weeks.

Queen Anne cruises

Join Queen Anne in Southampton, Hamburg, or Miami for an extraordinary westbound World cruise in 2028. Or perhaps you’d prefer one of her shorter escapes, sailing from the likes of Los Angeles or Sydney?

When you’re not treasuring every moment of what Queen Anne has to offer – from ocean-inspired spa treatments to spellbinding theatre – you’ve opportunities to come face-to-face with some of the world’s most well-known sights. The man-made wonder that is the Panama Canal. Hong Kong’s harbour, peppered with junk boats. The limestone islands of Halong Bay in Vietnam. Cape Town’s Table Mountain. Not forgetting idyllic beaches in Brisbane, Mauritius, Cape Verde, and Gran Canaria.

For unbeatable atmosphere on board, plus an array of special benefits, the Full World Voyage on Queen Anne is a particularly sparkling gem in this collection of new cruises. With several maiden calls – accompanied by the famous plaque-exchange ceremony – and overnight stays, this cruise allows you to see the world in a truly unique way.

Like all Cunard World Voyages, Queen Anne's 2028 sailing is split into shorter sectors, so you can join for just part of the journey, should you wish. You could immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and tastes of this 12-night Hong Kong to Singapore sector. Or, for a scenic journey through Central America – including a bucket-list transit of the Panama Canal – you can't beat this Miami to Los Angeles sector.

More to discover

If flying to meet your Queen isn't an option, you'll find plenty of cruises sailing roundtrip from Southampton with us in 2028. With no airline baggage restrictions, boarding your ship is a breeze, and your cruise can get started in moments.

For the ultimate ocean experience, nothing compares to sailing in a Grill Suite. From elevated dining and refined in-room services, to exclusive access to Grill-only venues on board, a stay in a Princess or Queens Grill Suite takes your Cunard cruise to unparalleled heights of indulgence. Grill Suite guests also enjoy early boarding times and priority disembarkation, so your journey with us can end as smoothly as it started.

Finally, why settle for one Queen when you can experience two, or even three? Our Queen to Queen voyages* offer you the chance to sail on multiple Queens in a single holiday. Myriad combinations are available for you to choose from. In 2028, for example, you could set sail from Cape Town to Southampton on Queen Anne, visiting Cape Verde and Gran Canaria en route, before transferring to Queen Mary 2 for an unforgettable Transatlantic Crossing to New York.

So, how near – or far – will our Queens take you in 2027 and beyond? Browse our new 2027 and 2028 cruises and find your perfect cruise holiday online today.

*"Queen to Queen" cruises and suggested itinerary combinations are not sold together. All cruises must be booked separately. Hotels and flights are available to add to cruise bookings at checkout, subject to availability.
